It just gets sadder and sadder.

In other tremendously horrific news, two people have been charged in the case of an eleven-year-old girl who authorities say had sex with as many as twenty people while a sixteen-year-old girl coached her.

On top of all of that, it was recently discovered that the eleven-year-old's mother had died of AIDS, and that the girl herself has been HIV-positive since birth.

I have to wonder why an eleven-year-old and a sixteen-year-old were even involved in something like this, period. Where were the parents/caretakers? Where'd all the other people come from, and how did two kids end up alone in a house with them? What oversight led to two young kids coming to know detailed information about sex acts?

What really disturbs me is that the one adult in the situation, who could have done something about it, had sex with the girl. There are no words for how messed up that is.
